Nominations are now open for the 2019 British Columbia Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Awards.

On March 21, International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Government of B.C. will recognize the outstanding contributions of British Columbians in promoting multiculturalism and anti-racism.

British Columbians are encouraged to nominate champions whose exceptional work in their communities promotes inclusion and reduces barriers, to allow all British Columbians to participate fully in the social, economic, cultural and political life of the province.

Nominations are open until February 22, 2019, in four categories: individual, organization, youth, and business.

The youth category will include a $5,000 award to a non-profit organization of the recipient’s choosing.
